I’ve been cycling through them a few months at a time. When it gets harder and harder to find something interesting on, say, Netflix, I cancel and sign up for, say, HBO, then a few months later Disney+, rinse and repeat.
I refuse to pay for more than one at a time because I’m not watching more than one at a time. And when I go back to any of them after many months away, there will be new programmes in their catalogue.
I used to do that but it’s also frustrating, because when something new comes out, it’s just random luck if I’m on the right streaming service to watch it. Otherwise I have to wait…
Wasn’t this supposed to be as good or better than the video rental store, where they had everything in one place?

Blockbuster had new releases and a handful of classics. One store probably had .01% of the volume of titles on Netflix. If they even had that many.
But now no one has all the new major releases, so in that regard it’s a worse experience.
I also remember they had the shit knockoff movies next to the real ones to fool Grandma into getting you that “Deformers movie you like”.
Yeah I guess.
